But is Zynga is sweating the early returns, COO John Schappert wasn’t showing it in an interview over the weekend with TechCrunch. Here’s a couple experts.

On the game plan for using the new funding:

“We’re investing in existing games to drive bookings [revenue-generating events like the purchase of a virtual good]. We’re also working to create new franchises and genres, like Castleville, which we recently launched on Facebook. That also means more international expansion. We’ve just started localizing a year ago with CityVille.”

On what he would tell investors:

“We look at this for the long-term, we’re not making short-term decisions… We’re looking at the long-term of play, the long-term of Zynga and connecting the world through games, and that’s hopefully what people are investing in — the future of social gaming and play.”
